Will TWINKLE IN
SOCCER'S BIG SHOW
Winning Soccer Club Will
Be Crowned Ohio
State Champs
Nine aets of sparkling
vaudeville, every one of. the
caliber seen on the profes-i
sional circuits, make up the
vaudeville show of the Good-year
Soccer Club which Will
be presented in Goodyear
Theatre for one night only,
next Saturday night, May 26.
Admission to this fine show
is only 50 cents each person
with no seats reserved. Pick
any seat you want.
Look over this list of fine acts.
If you like it plan to take your
entire family. Tickets may be pur-chased
from committeemen or
from C. E. Miller, Goodyear Hall.
Bobbie Clark, the well known
Scotch comedian, will open the en-tertainment
with some Scotch
songs and humor. You will like
his act.
A pair of good-looking girls
make up the second act, Meinhart
and Leills. Their act is pleasant
on both eyes and ears. They sing
some popular song hits.
Next are the Five Sparkers in
comedy and dance.
Collins and Collins, acrobats,
offer some clever aerial stunts.
They are in a class by themselves.
You'll Like This
One of the big hits of the pro-gram
will be the Flapperettes.
This group of pretty girls put on
a song and dance act that holds
the audience spell bound. If you
have seen the Tiller Girls you
know what to expect from this act.
Four Aces of Harmony, a quar-tet
of melody producers. They
sing popular songs in a way. you
ean't forget. If you've never
heard them don't miss them Satur-daj
night.
Southern Belles in "A Bit of
Caroline" is worth the price of ad-mission
to the Bhow. There are
eight in this group and their pres-entation
of southern songs and
dances takes you back to by-gone
days.
Elenore Holmes, will sing popu-lar
songs. Most people have heard
her rich contralto voice over the
radio. She is in great demand and
makes a hit everywhere.
Dancing Around the World, is an
unusual dance revue, showing the
Dance of the Nations. It is a •t-ting
finale to a great vaudeville
show, the dance numbers standing
out for their originality and clever-ness
of presentation and the beauty
of the costumes worn.
That's the program the soccerg
are putting on and it is doubtful if
a better vaudeville entertainment
ean be found either in Akron or
Cleveland. There is enough
variety of just the kind of enter-tainment
people like.
Oficials of the. state soccer as-moeintion
will present the
chnmpionmhip soccer
First week in school: ,
Anne: I just don't believe I
ever will learn all these funny
characters and how to stick them
together.
Irene: Well, it's hard, and four-and-
one-half months seems a long
time, but I am going to try it.
Four months later:
Irene: Just think, Anne, we're
nearly throught Think of all the
work we've covered and how
much more we know than we did
four months ago.
Anne: Yes, I never thought I
could learn so much in such a
short time, and it's been lots of
fun, and so interesting.
Irene: Yes, we never have to
hesitate now where to place our
letters on the sheet and the proper
spelling or form as we did at first.
Anne: And aren't those speed
tests easy now? Remember how
we got so nervous at 6rst? I
don't get excited any more when
someone comes in and asks me to
do some work for them. I like
to do it.
Conversations like the above are
heard often among the students in
the stenographic classes at Good-year
University. Some new classes
are starting June 11.
The full time summer course
will be of interest to high school
juniors and seniors who want to
develop the proper speed in short-hand
and typewriting so they can
qualify for regular work as soon
as possible after finishing schooL
The part time classes arranged
for second, Srst and third shifts,
are convenient to the persons al-ready
employed.
Those wanting to gain a knowl-edge
of comptometer operation
can arrange a schedule for their
spare time during the summer.
Miss Mary Mason. registrar,
Sfth aoor, Goodyear Hall, will be
glad to explain in detail any of
these courses in which you may
be interested.

MANY Will DRIVE
TO PITTSBURGH TO
SEE NATIONAL RACE •
Fourteen Balloons Compete
Wednesday for Second
Litchiteld Trophy
Hundreds of Goodyear
people will drive to Bettis
Field, Pittsburgh, Memorial
Day, to see Ward T. Van
Orman and Walter W. Mor-ton
take the air toward a
fifth possible victory for
Goodyear and to cheer for
Carl K. Wollam and J. F.
Cooper, and C. A. Palmer
and J. W. Mell, the other
local pilots who are flying in
the big event.
The beautiful Second Litchfield
Trophy will be the prize for the
first time in this race. It must be
won by the same chapter of the
Aeronautic association three times
in succession to become its prop-erty.
The First Litehfield Trophy
was won three times by the Ak-ron
Chapter of the Aeronautic as-sociation
and was later presented
to the City of Akron. Van
Orman piloted the winning balloon
in all these races. Wollam was his
aide in the first race and Morton
in the last two.
Bettis Field lies several miles
out of Pittsburgh, near MeKees-port.
The best route from Akron
to Pittsburgh is shown on Page 3.
Ready To Go
The "Goodyear V," which will
again be Goodyear's entry in the
race, has been carefully inspected
and is in line condition for the
flight. Van Orman has checked
over all his instruments and equip-ment
and they are 0. I The bal-loon
will be sent to Pittsburgh this
week and the pilots will follow
about Monday.
Wollam and Cooper will fly the
uCity of Cleveland" and Palmer
and Mell, the 66Business Club of
Akron." Their balloons are Good-year
made and both teams of pilots
are Goodyear trained, so they have
as good a chance as anyone to
place in the race. The three teams
Bying the greatest distance in the
race will represent America in the
International Race, June 30 from
Ford Airport, Detroit.
The race will probably be a very
short one. Just 200 miles from
Bettis Field are the waters of
Chesapeake Bay. The Atlantic
Ocean lies 300 miles due east. To
the south are the mountains of
West Virginia. Prevailing winds
will probably take the racing bal-loons
eastward 'so the outcome of
the race will probably be known
within 24 hours of the start.
There is a bare possibility of
catching a wind northeast which
would make the flight somewhat
longer.
Goodyear pilots won't suffer
from lack of competition. Against
them are arrayed the best lighter-than-
air pilots in the country.
Capt. H. E. Honeywell always is
to be feared. E. J. Hill is. one
of the country's most promising
fliers, having won the.International
nnci placed second in the National
races last year.
